We have created the campground page to assist you in deciding whether you would like to stay at a given campground. We currently have a 40' Diesel Motorhome with three slides; prior to 2007 we had a 35' Gas Motorhome with one slide. We do not rate campground bathroom facilities as we seldom use them; we prefer the convenience of our own restroom. We use the various campground links on the left side of this page in determining where to stay.

Happy Camping!

A+ Motel and RV Park


Location: Sulpher, LA
Site#: 58
Type of hookups: 50 AMP Full hookups.
Big Rig Friendly: Yes
Wi-Fi: Yes, and our Verizon Aircard worked fine as well.
Cable: Yes.
Pros: Large pull through paved sites. Easy on and off access from the highway, all roads and sites are paved, and very well maintained grounds. Nice dog walk area, and field that the dogs could run off leash.
Cons: Sites were a bit close together (but we didn't have anyone on either side of us), so not much privacy. Also no amenities.
Cost: $25.20 (Good Sams discount)
Rating: 9.00
Notes: This was just an easy over night stop for us, and this place worked perfect for that. We would definitely stay here again.

Fountainebleu State Park


Location: Mandeville, LA
Site#: 138
Type of hookups: Water and Electric 50 AMP only. Dump station was easily accessible.
Big Rig Friendly: Yes, but watch for the low hang branches driving through the park. Some areas we drove down the middle of the road.
Wi-Fi: Yes, but at times it was slow. We also used our Verizon Aircard which worked fine.
Cable: No.
Pros: Very Large (both wide and long) back in paved sites. Lots of activities to do in the area. New Orleans is about an hour drive; hiking trails and lots of geocaching in the park. Also, the Tammy Trace rails to trails is located just outside the entrance of the park.
Cons: Lots of traffic in the area, which made it troublesome to do shopping or just going to the post office. No play area for Koko, we couldn't even play with her on our own site. Ranger said the leash has to be in your hands at all times, or we would be fined.
Cost: $16.00-20.00/night depending on the site.
Rating: 7.75
Notes: We stay here to tour the New Orleans area, and thought it was a better option than driving the mothership into one of the campgrounds in the city.
